● To resume normal playback, press PLAY.
● When using the recorder's TIME SCAN SHUTTLE ring, the playback speed may not change in the correct step if it is turned
too fast.
● Picture and audio may become distorted when the recording speed changes. When this happens, resume normal playback
once, and then try using TimeScan again.
● The picture may be noisy or there may be a loss of colour when you change the playback speed. (More noise will appear with
LP recordings.)
● Noise may appear or the upper part of the picture may be distorted during still, frame-by-frame playback, 2x search of LP
recordings, or depending on the tape being used.
● Picture may appear distorted in comparison to normal playback.
● When normal playback resumes from search (including TimeScan), still, slow motion or frame-by-frame playback, the picture
may jitter vertically momentarily depending on the type of TV being used.
● In TimeScan mode there will be a time lag between the video and the audio and noise may appear in the audio signal.
● TimeScan sound quality will differ in comparison to normal playback.
● When material such as music videos where there is non-stop sound (very few breaks in the soundtrack) are viewed at 1.5x or
2x normal speed, the audio playback may be faster than normal.
● Depending on the type of tape contents, the sound may not be clear during forward slow-motion playback.
● Time Jog cannot be activated by pressing PAUSE for longer than 2 seconds.
● When the playback direction is reversed, it takes approximately 6 seconds until sound is heard.
● Picture will be monochrome with an LP-recorded MESECAM tape during TimeScan.
● When playing back an NTSC tape, the speeds differ from those listed above and are not shown on the TV screen, and the
TIME JOG & SCAN indicator does not light.
Also, depending on the type of tape being used, the picture may be distorted and there may be a loss of colour even when in
the TimeScan mode.
● TimeScan at -1/2x, 1/2x and 1.5x normal speed are not possible with a MESECAM tape.
